Hello,
I have trouble building Blender as a Python module on Ubuntu 20.04, according to the documentation on Building Blender/Other/BlenderAsPyModule - Blender Developer Wiki.
After following the manual, that is, cloning from GitHub to blender-git/blender and using svn to blender-git/lib, and installing gcc-11 as I had just gcc-9, and running make update in blender-git/blender, the command make bpy -j 1 produces this output:

Any clues?
I have also tried running the script blender-git/blender/build_files/build_environment/install_deps.sh, but this one gives me another error:
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libfontconfig1-dev' instead of 'libfontconfig-dev'

ERROR! apt-get failed to install requested packages, exiting.
I don’t know if install_deps.sh is supposed to run on older versions of Ubuntu, but I assume it is not important as the first error mentions a file simply missing in the git repository.
